We'll see. Last time I looked, the cost per watt of solid state amps was still 
2X vacuum tubes.

I'm sure that won't last forever, but I have not been seeing the price of 
complete solid state amps (as opposed to the devices on isolation) fall 
recently.

My fear is that the cost curves may be end up crossing entirely due to rising 
tube prices, rather than falling solid state prices. In other words, the end of 
the under-$1000 amp. This would be bad for the hobby. 

73,
Cathy
